sasa, rosales would be a candidate (he's got that whole "exile" thing going for him)...but dont discount velasquez (he's got caracas)....i think the problem (for now) is that hugo still controls the military and i have no doubts that hugo wont go peacefully...

i think at this point it might be too late for hugo to make any meaningful changes in the ven economy...he's committed to a losing hand...if he's not driven out in a coup then 2012 is right around the corner....

where that puts us? i have no idea...the upside is, as hugo loses his power (you can already see this in the ven media) ministers and governors will start making decisions for themselves..
